To the young man from Philippines, who asked Chiara “From the depths of your heart, what would you like to say to us here in the Palaeur Stadium and to the young people of the world who are watching us on television?”, she answered:

 

«I would like to repeat something said by Catherine of Siena, that very great saint, that wonderful woman. In speaking to her disciples, she said: “Don’t be satisfied with little things because He, God, wants great things”.

This is what I want to tell you: gen, young people, don’t be satisfied with crumbs. You have only one life, aim high, don’t be satisfied with little joys, seek the great ones, seek the fullness of joy.

You might ask me: “But where can we find it, Chiara?” All right, I’ll conclude my conversation with you by speaking again of Jesus.

He said that those who live unity will have the fullness of joy, so your heritage if you live this Ideal is the fullness of joy. And this is my concluding wish and my concluding words to you».

Rome, Palaeur Genfest 1995
